Description

The Society for the Study of School Psychology (SSSP) runs the Early Career Research Award (ECRA) to support research by early career school psychologists. The program seeks innovative projects that advance the science of school psychology by producing new knowledge or empirical findings. Its central priorities are originality and methodological quality, particularly methods that are rigorous, replicable, and clearly delineated.

Funded work spans academic screening, reading and mathematics interventions, school mental health, family engagement, and the preparation and practice of school psychologists. Recent projects have examined training-to-practice alignment, consultation in juvenile detention, culturally responsive family engagement, and race-related stress and burnout among school psychologists.
